Helen's latest Dead-End Job adventure will be in BLOOD ON THE BAYOU. The anthology debuts at the Bouchercon World Mystery Conference in NOLA. Short stories by 22 mystery writers and ALL proceeds go to the New Orleans public library.

Bestselling novelists David Morrell, Alison Gaylin and Elaine Viets headline a new anthology of 22 tales exploring the unique an aura of mystery of New Orleans and the surrounding bayou country.

Blood on the Bayou is published in conjunction with Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, which is being held in New Orleans. As with the convention itself, the anthology spreads a broad canopy across a wide variety of crime writers from across the country and around the world—including both veteran writers and the brightest up-and-coming talents in the field. These stories range from the light-hearted and fun to the darker side of crime; just as New Orleans and the bayou country can show both to the unsuspecting.
